Tress Way: From Redskins’ surprise starter to potential Pro Bowl punter
 

A little more than 14 months ago, Tress Way’s career as an NFL punter nearly ended before it even began.

He was 23 years old, working for the Fellowship of Christian Athletes between tryouts and living with his parents. After being released by the Chicago Bears in August 2013, a company in Oklahoma City had offered Way a job selling medical supplies. His soon-to-be-wife, Brianna, was attending nursing school there, and, for a recent college grad, it was a lot of money.

“So I thought about quitting football,” Way said. “Everybody’s got to hang up their cleats at some point.”
